"What's up, Liam?" Louis asked with uncertainty in his voice.
"I love you guys, I really do" Liam sighed, trying to find his words. "But you can't do shit like that on stage."
"I'm SORRY?!?" Louis yelled. He was suddenly filled with a deep rage. What the hell was wrong with Liam?
"No, no I-" Liam sputtered in complete shock. Harry just stood, blank faced and silent.
"That's not what I meant." Liam sighed, smacking his plan on his forehead.
"Well what the hell else could that mean?!? Huh?!? You have a problem with me? With US?!?" Louis' face was beat red. He couldn't believe Liam would say something like that to him, he thought they were friends...
Louis looked to Harry for some sort of reaction, yet his face remained stone. Unmoving. Almost as if he were in shock. Louis didn't blame him, hearing something like that from a friend, is like a knife straight in the back.
"Just LISTEN!" Liam shouted, attempting to quiet the loud boy.
"I-I love that you two found each other. It's not me that's the problem it's-"
"Oh you're not the problem? Really Liam?!? YOU'RE-"
"Lou!" Liam put his hand out towards Louis as if to calm him. "Please." The short boy reluctantly shut his mouth, impatiently waiting for Liam to explain.
"It's Simon."
Louis raised his eyebrows as if to say "So what..?"
"What you don't care?!?" Liam asked, truly baffled. "Our CAREERS are on the line Lou. We signed a contract."
"I could give a fuck!"
"Lou! This is serious shit."
A faint whisper erupted from the two boys shouting. "Liams right."
It was Harry. His voice shaking with worry. He didn't want to upset Louis.
The older boys head turned to stare at Harry. His eyes were glazed with tears and pain. "Harry...." his voice was broken and cracked. The sound of Louis in pain put Harry in pain. The curly boy couldn't handle it.
Nora unexpectedly walked into the room holding a phone. "Harry, Louis. Phone call."
Nora began to walk away and made a gesture with her head, telling the two boys to follow her.
Harry's heart was pounding with fear and regret. He really cared for Louis, but he also really cared about his job. He loved singing, it was his passion. Could he really let all that go for Louis....? He didn't know.
Nora led the two into a small, dark room, almost the size of a closet and turned the phone on speaker.
An old, posh British voice spoke over the phone. "Tomlinson. Styles."
Harry gulped, preparing himself for Simons wrath, while Louis just stood there with a sly grin.
"HOW COULD YOU BE SO FOOLISH?!?" Harry jumped at the volume of Simons voice.
"Hundreds. There are HUNDREDS of social media posts about your little romantic stage moment. Hundreds will turn into THOUSANDS and thousands will turn into MILLIONS!!!" Simon bellowed with pure rage.
"I am going to be very honest with you two. The only, and I mean the ONLY reason your band is big, is because thirteen year old girls can fantasize and fall for all FIVE of you. That won't happen if there are two GAY members. I'll lose money and then I'll cut you off."
Harry looked over to Louis (who was now wearing a face of worry) and squeezed his arm.
"Here's what we're gonna do. You're making me good money, so I won't cut you off. But you do anything and I mean ANYTHING like this again, you're done. The entire band. Not just you two, Liam, Zayn, and Niall too. No one will ever know One Direction existed. Got it?"
Harry opened his mouth, yet no words would come out. He was filled with pure shock. Louis finally spoke up.
"Y-yes we understa-"
Beep beep
Simon had hung up before the short boy could finish his sentence.
The entire room was silent. What do you say when someone tells you that you can love someone? What do you say when someone threatens to end your career? What do you say...?
